Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
Hi, just posting as I am working on this Good Friday and its a bit slow at work so thought I would start a post to see how everyone's day is. Keep myself occupied and my mind busy. Keep on with my No Contact. I am under the weather today with a bit of a Bladder Infection and I find that when I am sick, it makes me torn between wanting to reach out and find comfort (in which the ex would not really be comforting anyway) or just crawl into bed and heal alone. The weather is finally nice here and I am inside working which is not bothering me much since I don't feel well. Hoping I get over this without antibiotics as I could not get to the Doctor today. Any suggestions/advice are appreciated. Thanks.
I'm sorry about your bladder infection. They can get painful. I hope yours leaves soon. If it gets worse, you should take something for it. I do hate antibiotics though. If you take them, right after you've stopped taking them, for good, eat a bunch of yogurt for the good bacteria. Drink lots and lots of water, and get as much rest as you can when you get home. Just take it easy and watch some movies or read a book. Maybe get your dinner on the way home so you don't have to cook.
I do have to admit though, I have a horrible flu. This is the second time in 2 weeks I've been sick. When I worked at school, I NEVER got sick. Those immunities lasted, I guess till about 4 weeks ago.
I retired about 6 years ago. I've been wondering how long they would last. Now I know they are gone. Before I got sick the first time, I hadn't been sick at all, never with a cold or flu for 15 years.
I hope both of us get better really soon.
I will be by myself the whole weekend and when I'm sick, I LOVE not having to be a maid or cook.
If you go to the drugstore in the "feminine" section they have stuff to get rid of the pain from Bladder/UTI infections made by the Brand AZO. It works really well. You can also take acidophillis to help your body adapt it's bacteria - just like the yogurt gem mentioned.
Feel better!
I actually have huge news ... I bought a house today that is JUST for myself and my baby girl. Yay! Yay! Yay! ... It is adorable, old (like I like them), in a great neighborhood, close to daycare and friends .... and in much better condition than the house I walked out of and left my stbx in. At first, I wanted that house back, and of course, he was a stubborn selfish *$O#&^ and refused to leave. Now I am so happy it worked out this way. The key is burning a hole in my pocket - very hard to stay working (especially because I'm self-employed and my own boss). I want to go over there and just sit and the floor and smile. :-)
It's sunny here today, too, and warmer.
I have a happy weekend planned ... going to visit a friend with new puppies and going swimming with my daughter and my best friend and her new granddaughter. Sunday will be mostly with my family.
Nice idea to start a "just to chat" thread, Joanie.
Happy weekend everyone!
I hadn't really planned on doing much this weekend anyway, so. I do have a Dean Koontz book I have yet to read and it is a big one.
I don't have much of an appetite so I can probably just make do with some soup or something.
JadedSanitiy, I have not had a comforting/supportive boyfriend in so long, not sure how that would feel. I guess, I was just thinking someone to be there with ya know? Thank you for the advice about the medicines at the drugstore, much appreciated.
Hope you both have a wonderful weekend.
